Buchmann Gallery is dedicated to the advocacy of sculpture in its diverse forms of expression and regularly realizes monumental and site-specific projects by its artists in public spaces. This ranges from initial project contact through assistance with technical and logistical challenges to the completed on-site installation. The following selection documents a variety of large-scale sculptures and site-specific works, some of which were realized in direct collaboration with the gallery.
